Playa de la Andrin

Playa de la Andrín is a scenic surf beach on the coast of Asturias, northern Spain, near Llanes. It’s a beautiful bay with golden sand, cliffs, and a fairly natural, undeveloped feel.

Surf conditions

• Beach break with waves that can be quite fun and punchy

Things to keep in mind
